Arsenal will be aiming to avoid drawing level with this rather depressing record for the first time in 80 years against Watford on Saturday.

According to Opta, Arsenal haven’t failed to score in their opening four away league games of a season since 1936/37. That’s over 80s years ago.

The Gunners didn’t find the back of the net against Chelsea (0-0), Liverpool (4-0) or Stoke (1-0). Therefore, if they fail to score against Watford, they draw level with the aforementioned depressing record set 80+ years ago.

What’s more, the last time Arsenal went four consecutive Premier League away matches without scoring was December 1992 under George Graham. So, Saturday could be embarrassing in a couple of ways, which is always nice to look forward to.

Fortunately, the Hornets have failed to keep a clean sheet against Arsenal during their last 10 matches in all competitions. The last time they did was in April 1988 (1-0). Plus Troy Deeney is without a goal in his last 13 league games, which is his longest goal-drought ever in the Premier League and his worst in league football since October 2011.

However, Watford are currently enjoying their best ever start to a Premier League campaign under new manager Marco Silva.

The Hornets have beaten Arsenal 11 times in their history after their first meeting in February 1906. The Gunners have won 15 times. They’ve drawn once.

Everything points to Arsenal at the least scoring at Vicarage Road. Which means we probably won’t.
